SHIPPING,
SUPPORT, TAX & RETURNS INFORMATION
The Robot MarketPlace acts as a storefront for several
vendors, as well as sourcing from our own inventory.
Therefore, some products listed in this MarketPlace may
have been manufactured, warrantied and shipped by a third
party.
Availability
You
can now view an item's stock status on the product page. "In
Stock" means that we have the item on our shelves, ready to ship.
"Limited Quantities" means we have some, but may run out soon.
"Available" typically means this is a drop-shipped item from
one of our distributors- these are usually stocked items, but
since our distributors cannot directly share their stock status
on every one of these products, we cannot guarantee the stock
status of these. If you want to check stock status of any "Available"
item, please email or call us, but for the most part, these can
also be considered as stocked items. "Backordered" means that
we have run out of the item, but more are on the way. "Discontinued"
means that the item is no longer available. Some items may be
marked "Special Order". These items may take some time to manufacture,
or need to be shipped to us from the manufacturer first. These
items typically can take a bit longer to arrive, so be sure to
place your "Special Order" items early.
Shipping
Prices
Please
note that when you've placed items into the Robot MarketPlace
shopping cart, you are actually getting an ESTIMATE for shipping & handling.
Your actual shipping amount may go up or down slightly before
your order is processed. If you believe that you have been
overcharged by the shopping cart system, do not be alarmed.
You will NOT be charged the higher amount that the cart estimated,
but rather the ACTUAL shipping after the order has been processed
by us manually. Likewise, don't get too excited if your shipping
shows up surprisingly low. We catch all shipping errors before
your card is actually charged and you will be contacted when
there are any differences from what the shopping cart system
quoted you. We are tweaking the system all the time to generate
more accurate shippping, so thank you for your patience as
we make adjustments. If you would like a shipping quote in
advance, email us a list of items along with your shipping
address, and we will send you a quote.
Shipping
Methods
We primarily ship by USPS, or UPS depending
on size, weight, expedite request, and distributor preference.
Robot MarketPlace reserves the right to select a shipping method
that will be most convenient and beneficial for the fast delivery
of the package to the customer. If you have a special request for expedited shipping beyond our standard shipping, please enter the information into the "Special Instructions" field on checkout, or contact us with your special shipping requirements. Overnight shipping is typically
handled by UPS Next Day Saver service, or in some cases USPS Express Mail. Please read
here about express overnight shipping.
Sales
Tax
Our shopping cart will NOT automatically add sales tax to your
order. We may need to manually add state sales tax on some items
if the product destination and product shipper are in the same
state. We are located in Florida, and some of our distributors
ship from California, Nevada, Minnesota, Wisconsin, as well as a few other
states. If you live in one of these states, we may need to add
sales tax to all or part of your order. If this is the case, you
should receive an email notification when we process your order.
If your business or organization is tax exempt, or if you are a business purchasing
with intent to resell, we request that you include your state Tax
ID number in the 'Special Instructions' field upon checkout. We may have to contact you for verification, which may cause unwanted delays.
International
Shipping
Yes,
we ship internationally. However, our shopping cart is optimized
for U.S. shipping, so if you are an international customer,
we may need to add extra shipping to your order when it is
processed. Please note that international shipping can take
significantly longer than shipping within the U.S. International
shipping is through USPS International services.
Returns
There
are no returns on electronics items or on custom,
made-to-order items (especially cut-to-order carbon fiber, custom battery packs, and
custom cut metal products), unless there is a manufacturing defect. No returns
will be accepted on items that have been modified or damaged by the buyer. Returns
WILL NOT be considered if customer has been in possession of
the item for 60 days or more. Please contact us to find out if
your item may qualify for a return. Returned merchandise is subject
to a minimum 15% restocking fee.
Cancellations
You
may cancel all or part of your order at any time. However, on credit
card orders, we must charge a 3% cancellation fee. This fee will
not be implemented if there was a delay due to backordered items
or late shipping. PayPal, money order, and purchase
order cancellations will not be subject to cancellation fees. To
avoid fees, please be certain that what you order is actually what
you need.
Questions
Questions
about any particular product or problems with the shopping cart
sytem may be submitted by
,
we may redirect your query to a third party vendor if we cannot
answer the question directly.

up-to-date product listings and prices, and we will ensure satisfaction
in all transactions that take place through the Robot MarketPlace.
In the event of any disagreements or dissatisfaction, The Robot
MarketPlace will work with consumer and vendor to come to an optimal
resolution for all parties involved.
